Give me that old time religion
That old time religion
That REAL old time religion
It’s good enough for me
Well, we all worship Freya
There’s no need to ask her “May ya?”
For a necklace she will lay ya!
And that’s good enough for me!
Good old Thor’s the god of thunder
Really helps us get our plunder
Tho his head’s still truly dunder
He is good enough for me!
We all worship Loki
He’s a downright trickster
And that’s why this verse doesn’t rhyme
And that’s good enough for me!
Odin is a mighty thinker
And he is a heavy drinker
With the girls he likes to tinker
So he’s good enough for me!
Well, we worship Aphrodite
She’s young and kinda flighty
But she wears a see through nighty
And that’s good enough for me!
Oh, we’ll worship like the Druids,
Drinking strange fermented fluids,
And run naked through the woods;
It’s good enough for me!
Oh we’ll worship Zarathustra,
Yes, we’ll worship like we used ta.
I’m a Zarathustra booster
And it’s good enough for me!
Well the Japanese they have Shinto;
And who knows what else they’re into
If it helps outsell the Pinto
Then that’s good enough for me!
To that Great Snake Quetzalcoatl
We all will raise a bottle
For that Great Gift Chocolotl
And that’s good enough for me!
We went out to worship Venus,
Good Lord! You should have seen us!
Now the clinic has to screen us,
But it’s good enough for me.
All praise be to Athena;
Who makes us oh so keen-a
Though she does sometimes get mean-a
Still she’s good enough for me.
From the East there is the Buddha,
He really is much cutah,
Comes in brass and glass and pewtah,
And that’s good enough for me.
Let us worship Dionysus
Perun, Shiva, Frey, and Isis
(We’ll forgive their little vices)
They’re good enough for me!
Oh, those Christian folks are hummin’
Cause they say Jesus may be comin’
Well, our God’s come two times tonight
And our Goddess at least three!
So!
Give me that old time religion
That old time religion
That REAL old time religion
It’s good enough for me!
(Whenever we sang this song, the little omnithiest inside always felt compelled to give a shout out to the Wounded God… so I wrote this little verse and I’d sing it very slow… until the last line.)
They say Jesus is a has-been
You know he died for your sin
But he sure bagged Mary Magdaline
And that makes him enough for me!
